The ceo said that it was by request from ph's that lend their clients guns. That's why the adj. Stock and muzzle brake.
I'm wondering how many rifles they will sell to ph's wanting a loaner rifle, as I would think most would just use a rifle already in camp. Seems like a very small market. Also, I can't imagine the market for 20" barreled 300 Win Mags is awfully strong.
I'm one of those who like the look of the barrel band swivel and an added bonus to me is that it keeps the end of the barrel that much lower on your back when traipsing through the thick stuff, YMMV.
Nothing wrong with a barrel band swivel, (other than potential impact point shift while using a shooting sling) but when you have an extra stud on the stock digging into your back because Ruger was pyscho and designed the rifle with both studs... I mean why?
